1. Whatever happens, try your best and don't give up.
In the beginning of the book, Thomas was so confused about everything, he thought everything was just going to get worse but it turned out that over time he started to fit in, people actually called him by Thomas, not green bean, or newbie. Also when Minho, Alby, and Thomas were stuck in the maze for a night, Minho thought he had no hope except for dying because of the grievers, but Thomas had hope and tried everything that he could do which ended up saving all three lives of their lives.
2. Don't underestimate others because you'll never know how strong they are and how much power they have.
When Thomas first came, everyone thought he was just a "Shuck-face" but then in the end of the day, he was the one who saved their lives. They thought he wasn't as good as the others, but they just had to trust him.
